Throughout labor I relied on the wonderful beads friends and families gave me at my two super fab baby showers (in Colorado by Court, Steve, Kiki, and Glenn and in DC by Karen, Mom, and Hannah). Just before a contraction I would choose a bead and tell myself all about the bead, the reason it was given, and the person who gave it. We even took the beads with us into the c-section.
Before we left for the hospital I strung all the beads on a string with little black beads between. Our midwife, doula, delivery nurse and, later, anesthesiologist all commented on how cool looking my beads were and what a great show of support from people in our lives.
